Probably a dumb question but I'm most familiar with the Hodgdon powders and would hate to make a dumb mistake. I've heard great things about AA 2015 in the 6x45 caliber and all I could find was Accurate 2015. I'm pretty sure Accurate Arms was bought out by Western powders, hence the name change?

The sportngoods store where I buy my powder has an older jug of Accurate powder on the display shelf that is called XMR****. I asked why the difference from what I was purchasing and he said that xmr was the old designation.IIR, I also read where they (western powders?) wanted Acccurate powders now referred to as just A2230, A2460, etc.,etc, as opposed to AA****,Bottom line to answer your question, yes like zilla said, AA 2015, Accurate 2015 is the same thing.I have found good results using a few powders from Accurate.

If my memory serves me right...... The xmr 2015 is a cyclinderical powder where as the AA-2015 is a ball powder so they are not the same. I am doing this from memory so please check the websites for clarification.

Not for sure if there ever was a XMR labeled 2015 but that is possible, according to the link that zilla posted A2015 is a extruded powder. Now dont hold me to this but I THINK XMR may have stood for extruded military rifle ??? dont know for sure.

The current 2015 powder by Accurate Arms was originally called 2015-BR, then XMR-2015 and now just 2015. The "A" and "AA" designations are mostly used in various publications to show its manufactured under the Accurate Arms brand(which is now owned by Western Powders). The "approximate" or "relative" burn rate is the same for all the designations but it's always prudent to start low and work your way up with charge weights.

Some folks thing that I'm paranoid about things like this. But I'm very fond of all 10 of my fingers and both of my eyes. Not to mention what a replacement barrel costs. Let's face it ... powder, primers, and other reloading components are CHEAP when you think about the ramifications of using an unknown or unproven component. I've seen first hand what a substitution can do. My friend wasn't one of the lucky ones, either. He got careless and complacent when reloading and made a mistake. It cost him dearly. It's not worth ANY risk, in my mind.

I don`t think your paranoid Hidalgo.I felt pretty comfortable with my answer that Accurate 2015 is the same as AA2015. I use Accurate powders #7,#9, 2230, 2460, 2700, 3100, and 4350 and all three of my reloading manuals Lyman,Hornady and Nosler abbreviate Accurate powders as AA****But you have a good point about calling their phone number that was available in the link posted by zilla.The only thing I was unsure of was what did XMR stand for??
